RE: Eating Varmits
My Grandpa grew up working in the loggin camps in the early 1900's and he tells me that in the camps the loggers meals were mostly potatoes, rutabeggas and carrots suplemented with deer, bear, beaver and muskrat. I read once that the person who named the muskrat ruined the animal for table fare. If it would have been called the swamp rabbit or something like that we would be eating it in fancy restaurants today.

I have eaten coon lots of times. It's pretty good. Talk to your local hunters and trappers and see if they know of any wild game suppers in your area. We have 3or4 a year, that I know of in MD.,anything from bear to duck. I don't think I could hand yotoes, fox and no way on the opossum.!!

RE: Eating Varmits
I was skining out some coyotes a couple of years ago and my new neighbor from down the street to see what i was skinng out today,he had made a habit of coming by to see if there was anything he could eat and since i was always skining something, he was always cooking something well i offered him a big male coyote, and down the street he went carrying this stinking coyote carcass with him.Now before i go any further this guy is from africa and barely can speak any english well a couple of days later he came back with a plate of coyote and said it was the best food he had ever ate and wanted to know if i wanted to have some of it,i just kinda looked at him and said no thanks, and to this day he comes by and gets two or three a year,but you know he doesn't like coon he says it to greasy,you would't believe what he does to goats but thats a different story.
